A: General rules: Professional, Ethical, Moral and Safe approach will be used in all rules. a. All halter and fleece competition animals must be “LL” registered animals. b. Crossbreds will only be allowed in optional crossbred classes. c. Nonregistered animals may be used in Youth and Performance classes and would need to pay an annual $10 recording fee. d: Dress: professional and modest dress is suggested. There was much discussion regarding the recommendations for dress in the youth divisions. *General rules were sent back to committee for rewording of dress suggestions. B: Protest Procedure: All protests must be made within 15 days of the event that is being protested. There would be a $100 fee that would need to be paid with the submission of a protest. Protest would be sent to the registrar who would forward it to a five person ILR-SD member committee who would review the protest and make a ruling. The person filing the protest would have the option of filing an appeal for an additional $100. The appeal would undergo the same review process with a different five person committee. After discussion, the Governing Board decided to raise the protest and appeal fee to $200. Motion to approve with changes noted by Fran, second by Tami. Motion passed unanimously. C: Grandfathering of Other Show Association Points: The committee recommended allowing the grandfathering of points into combined awards. A typographical error was noted and a motion to approve as corrected made by Tami, second by Fran. Motion passed unanimously. D: A show sanctioning form is available on the ILR-SD website at www.lamaregistry.com. E: The committee submitted recommended questions and answers for the “Frequently Asked Questions” page of the ILR website, www.lamaregistry.com. F: The committee has started files for all approved rules from all committees that can be easily printed into an ILR-SD Manual when all rules are approved. The format will be easy to read and easy to access.
A: Age divisions for youth – there was much discussion on the suggested ages for youth and how classes could be combined. Topic returned to committee for revision. B: The committee will assign points to distinguish Novice and Advanced by December 1, 2009. This gives time to review the points accumulated during the year and set realistic division breaks. C: Showmanship classes will follow the halter committee recommendations and the youth committee prepared a list of what youth would be expected to due in the class. D: The committee recommends that at the discretion of show management, it is ok for youth to share an animal, but that no more than two youth use the same animal. E: The committee recommends that show management have the discretion to allow youth to use an animal in both youth and open divisions only if the animal is not being shared by different youth. F: The committee recommended that non-member youth pay an additional $5 fee to show in ILR-SD sanctioned shows. This is against rule established for ILR-SD that allows non-members to show without a non-member fee. This recommendation was rejected. G: Youth judging, scholarships, and education funding was tabled by committee for future discussion. H: The committee recommended that points only be recorded for ILR-SD member youth – this is appropriate with ILR-SD rules. The committee will work with Halter and Performance committees for verbiage on additional youth rules. I: The committee suggests that all entry forms have a place for signatures of parent/guardian or advisor/leader (with parent signature on file) allowing the listed youth to participate in the event. This will be added to the sanctioning documents. J: Mandatory tasks: The committee suggest there by 3-4 mandatory tasks for each performance class. The general concept was favorable and it was suggested the committee recommend three mandatory tasks for each performance division for youth classes and submit their recommendations at the next governing board meeting. K: Youth Champion Award: The youth committee recommends that rather than a youth performance champion award, that the ILR-SD have a Youth Champion Award that would have Freestyle Obstacle and Companion PR classes be mandatory and that the high score of either Trail Pack or Showmanship be used to determine the Youth Champion. Motion by Fran, second by Pam. Motion passed unanimously.
The performance committee presented six different sets of documents on a zip file that included description of suggested courses and rules for Governing Board review (see committee minutes). In review of them, it was suggested that the description of second attempts be removed from these documents and be considered as scoring rules are developed. Motion by Jon, second by Fran to approve all documents in zip file. Motion passed unanimously. These forms can be viewed and downloaded from the ILR website www.lamaregistry.com, and are titled: Performance Rules; Performance Guides and Gauges; Performance Scoring Form (for judges to begin using at upcoming ILR Sanctioned Shows); Companion PR Tasks; Freestyle Obstacle Tasks; and Trail-Pack Tasks.
A: The committee asked that oral reasons be required. Unanimous approval B: The committee requested that showmanship be judged on preparation and presentation for halter classes, and follow the pattern of halter classes. There was considerable discussion of optional tasks that could be used for showmanship, similar to an equitation or horsemanship type class in horse showing – it was suggested that this type of class could be offered as an optional, non-point class. Motion by Pam, second by Fran. Motion passed 11 yes, one no vote. C: Halter class fleece divisions: The committee recommended six fleece divisions: classic, suri, silky, light/medium, medium/heavy and extreme heavy. The committee will provide detailed descriptions and photos of these divisions before final approval. Also, the committee recommended that classes be judged 90% conformation and 10% fiber traits for suri, silky, medium/heavy and extreme heavy classes and 100%conformation for classic and light/medium. After much discussion, the governing board recommended that all fleece divisions have the 90% conformation and 10% fiber consideration. Motion to approve as amended by Father Ryan, second Tami. Motion passed unanimously. The halter committee is instructed to come back with details on descriptions and a suggested order of classes when multiple fleece types are offered. The Governing Board requested that suri and silky classes be shown first to allow animals to be moved to a different fleece division at the judges discretion. D: Gelding Fleece division: The committee suggested a working class and a fleece class for geldings. Much discussion followed and it was returned to committee to define non-breeders females (spayed and incapable of reproduction) instead of just geldings. E: Age divisions: The committee gave recommendations for optional class breakdowns by age. Motion to approve by Father Ryan, second Pam. Motion passes unanimously. F: Grand and Reserve: The committee recommended placing all animals out for grand and reserve and the animals receive points based on the total number of animals in the division.
